( Basilica of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Levoča )

Mariánska hora, (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈmaɾijaːnska ˈɦɔɾa]; 781 m. above sea level), a hill above Levoča, Slovakia, with views over the town and countryside, is the location of the Basilica of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Slovak: Bazilika navštívenia Panny Márie).

The chapel was enlarged and rebuilt many times, including a Baroque church in 1766. However the increasing number of pilgrims visiting the site necessitated a larger structure. Pope John Paul II, at the request of the local bishop, upgraded the church to a Basilica Minor in 1984, and visited the site himself on July 3, 1995, when about 650,000 pilgrims gathered for the occasion. The annual pilgrimage, on or around 2 July (Feast of the Visitation - still celebrated on the traditional date of 2 July in Slovakia), still draws a very large number of participants.
